My favourite mugs!

Gosh, a listography, I've never played that before! Oh well, here goes...

 

Thanks to Kate Takes 5 http://katetakes5.blogspot.com/2012/02/listography-mugs.html here's a list of my favourite mugs that are still alive.

 

Number 1



This is my morning, noon and nighttime mug, twice as big as most mugs, it's just right for a "nice cup of tea"!

 

Number 2

I don't actually buy mugs, hence our eclectic collection, and I love to recieve them as gifts. This is one of my daughter's first presents to me, on a youth club trip last year. It means a lot to me as she was so proud and happy to give it, and had brought prezzies for all the family, she's such a generous little thing.

 

Number 3

This one is slightly damaged ( the "auntie" has fallen out of the middle!) but still very precious to me, a gift from one of my gorgeous nieces from Strasburg, who refer to me as "our English aunty", making me feel like Agatha Christie or similar!

 

Number 4

We have four of these, my daughter and I recieved them last year at a race that takes place every year  through the centre of Geneva in December -the escalade. There was a lovely atmosphere and we ran with a couple of friends and their kids, the car was full of mugs on the way home!

Number 5

Last, but of course not least is my sanity mug, the mug that keeps me going during traffic jams, football matches, school trips, training days, it has even come out on the occasional dog walk when I'm, well, dog tired!

 

So there you have it, my life in mugs! If there's a tie break for a competition out there, I want you to know that I deserve to win, not only did I have to wash my mugs, but also the kitchen table and the wall - so it now has a nasty clean patch !

I am doing a project about afternoon tea at art college and thought I would research about peoples favourite mugs and your page came up, thanks for being as mad as me!

I love using mugs that were gifts, it gives me five minutes to think about the people who gave them. In the same vein, but much rarer, when I dust photos of family I always send them a kiss, it's like turning Tibetan payer wheels on my stroll through life.

Ooo what a lovely collection. I do like the bug/ant one the best and lovely that it was a gift from your daughter...makes it extra special!

Made it at last! I was wondering what that auntie one was trying to say with that hole thing in the middle!

I love your eclectic collection of mugs

Quite right Hannah, am planning on today's holiday activity - cooking, to fix that clean gap!

It's definitely a saviour SMM! And ith half a litre that's nearly enough to get me through a junior football match!

Love these - especially the sanity mug, I need one of these to make sure i get my caffine finx when i'm driving rather than swilling myself with tea every 5 mins! x

Foolish girl, we wouldn't have noticed the grubby wall in the pix and now you are going to have to wash the whole wall to hide the clean patch.....then again could just throw some grease and ketchup at the clean bit so its blends in a bit...after all your kids are half English and thus able throw food unlike their supposedly well behaved French mates!
